Being responsible

Nature and environment

Our guess is that you care about the environment and the welfare of animals. Our ambition is to be at the forefront when it comes to sustainable dairy farming and environmental standards in the dairy industry.

Size leads to opportunities

Our size gives us many opportunities to explore and invest in new environmental solutions. When we decide on new environmental targets, our results have a great impact. 12,500 cooperative Arla farmers work with sustainable dairy farming and 19,000 colleagues take action in 133 dairies and offices.

And since our whole business is based on milk from our own cows, our farmers obviously want to make sure that their animals are well looked after by knowledgeable staff.

Environmental Strategy

Our environmental strategy 2020 focus on sustainable agriculture, greenhouse gas emissions, water, energy, and zero waste.
